Message by Bob Crosthwaite, Pastor Emeritus Impatience versus Patience 1, Whining 1 Samuel 13:5-14 The art of waiting is not learned at once. Isaiah 40:31 Hebrews 1:1 2 Peter 1:6-8 Galatians 5:22-23 James 1:3-4 2, Waiting There is a time to DO; and a time to WAIT… and the ability to tell the difference is a sign of maturity. Examples of Waiting: when we desire wisdom when we experience hurt/loss when we want to grow Right way: receive power & direction Wrong way: remain stagnant & powerless 3, Winning Can impatience and love really exist together in the same heart? 1 Corinthians 13:4 The “Waiting Room” is part of daily life. When you understand that God is never late, you WAIT differently. Saul made a choice between giving in or growing up. May God help us to wait properly.
